мнение In my opinion computer literacy is one of the most important skills one can have to be successful.

1. утверждение First of all, computers have become an integral part of people’s life.

мнение In my opinion  creative hobbies allow people to fight stress.

1. утверждение First of all, being immersed in a hobby lets a person forget about stress since stress and joy that arrives from a hobby are antagonists. пример For example, if a person really likes embroidery, he or she is happy when they are doing it, which means there is no place for stress in their mind. 2. утверждение Secondly, hobbies are usually relaxing and I would say even therapeutic. пример For instance, it is a scientific fact that those who have hobbies live a longer and happier life. Joy that comes from such activity has a healing power.

мнение In my opinion  the most valuable thing in life one can have is friendship.

Such dull work is being done automatically. 2. утверждение Secondly, music is usually relaxing and I would say even therapeutic. пример For instance, it is a scientific fact that those who listen to music often live a longer life. Stress that might come from doing daily routines gets neutralized by positive emotions that arrive from listening to the music. 

мнение In my opinion if a person follows some modern trends they lose valuable things in life.

мнение In my opinion the earlier one choses his or her career the better chances to success they have.

1. утверждение First of all, early chosen career gives one an opportunity to get more experience. пример For example, a lot of computer program writers started programming when they were about 7 years old. By the age of twenty two they have much experience behind them. 2. утверждение Secondly, choosing a career path early allows one to focus their education directly on their career specialty. пример For example, those aspiring to go into the field of biotech can begin their career training by earning a bachelor's degree in biological science or a related field, including chemistry, molecular biology, or biochemistry.

мнение In my opinion reading a book is more informative than watching a movie.

1. утверждение First of all, when a person reads a book, he or she learns more details. пример For example, an author describes a tower and spends a few pages to say about its story.

When people watch a movie, they see the movie director’s perception. 

мнение I do not think that a person who speaks a few fluent languages can be an interpreter. 

1.утверждение First of all, interpreting and speaking are different skills. пример For example, even bilinguals, people who speak two languages from their birth, study interpreting for a few years in an university to do it properly. 2.утверждение Secondly, one should love interpreting to work as an interpreter. пример For instance, interpreters usually work in pairs and change each other every twenty minutes. It is all because the pressure on the nervous system of an interpreter is compered with a pilot of a super jet. 

мнение In my opinion Russian is more difficult than English.

1. утверждение First of all, Russian language has changing endings. пример For example, according to its pronouns the endings of adjectives change, which means a learner has to remember a lot of cases.

Moreover, there are not really strict and logical rules in using these prefixes and endings. 

мнение In my opinion people’s clothes really impact the way they behave.

1.утверждение First of all, nowadays clothes have become a part of people’s image and a way of behavior. пример For example, people of different occupations dress differently.

мнение In my opinion students at the final grades ought to study the subjects they consider most useful.

1. утверждение First of all, students usually know what they want to be even in Primary School and should learn the subjects accordingly. пример For example, the subjects that are connected to their future specialty should be given special emphasis. 2. утверждение Secondly, if a person chooses the subject, he or she will study it better. пример For example, it is a scientific factthat anything that is studied with pleasure leaves stronger impressions in memory.

мнение In my opinion the Internet is the greatest time saver people ever invented.

1.утверждение First of all, the Internet allows people to search important information they need really fast. пример For example, if a person has any question, he or she goes to ask it in the Internet and get an answer right away.

мнение In my opinion exams make students treat the subject they study more seriously and learn it better.

1. утверждение First of all, any test motivates a person to learn the subject better since the result will be graded. пример For example, one listens to some information and forgets it right away since they do not know if they need it in their future life. On the other hand, when students know that this information will be tested, they memorize it much better. 2. утверждение Secondly, the grades students get at exams characterize their level of preparation and ultimately give them a lot of advantages, if their marks are high. пример For instance, if a person has what we call “Red Diploma”, they enter a university without exams.

Moreover, good marks are always pleasant to get.

1.утверждение First of all, making new friends takes less time. пример For example, one can go to a cluband make a lot of new friends in a few hours. 2. утверждение Secondly, it is easier to impress people when a person just meets them the first time. пример For instance, people tend to show good qualities in the beginning of any relationship. They are always polite, they smile and are always ready to help.
